ALBERT JOHN SEAMAN, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

' l I MIAYONNAIISE-MIXEYR.

To all; whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT JOHN SEAMAN, a citizenfof the United States,residing at Boston, in the county of Suifolk and State of Massachusetts,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mayonnaise-Mixers,f which the following is a specificaproper diameter and, afterthe dressing has been prepared, quickly and easily removed,

so that the dressing may be allowed to remain in the dish as long asdesired; l

The device may also be used in the chum- ,ingYof-butter or in the mixingof any sub-- 'st'ancethatcan be stirred or otherwise agitated by arevolving dasher.

The invention consists in the combination of elements and in certainparts-of construction entailed in the combination of said elements toobtain the desired result.

A full. understanding of the invention can best be given by a detaileddescriptionof a preferred construction embodying the various features ofthein'vention', and such a description will now be given in connectionwith the accompanying drawings; and I attain my object by t e mechanismthere illustrated, showing such preferred construction, and the featuresforming the invention will then be specifically pointed out in theclaims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view showing a salad-mixing dish andmy invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of thesame on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional elevation of the oil-dropper partlyopened. Fig. 4 is a similar view with the dropper closed. Fig. 5 is anenlarged view of part of the dasher, Fig. 6 is a plan view of my devicewhen used as a butter-churnwith the oil-dropper removed and thecover-extended to completely cover the top of the disk.

Latitude is allowed herein as to details, as they may be changed orvaried at will without departing from the spirit of my invention and thesame yet remain intact and be protected.

Patented Oct. 30, 1806.-

in all the views of the drawings by the same I reference characters.

In the drawings the numeral 7 represents any suitable vessel orreceptacle, preferably a glass or porcelain bowl, having at its topacircumferential outward-extending flange or v rim 8, on which rim 8 thecover 9 rests. This cover has one or more lugs 10 and one or moredepending cars 11 for holding the cover u on the bowl 7, and the cover 9is securely loo ed j thereon by a thumb-screw 12, secured through one ofthe ears 11 and against the outer side of the bowl immediately 'underthe rim-8,'so

that as great speed is obtained with the revolving dasher on turning ofthe handle 13 by the operator the cover will not fly off. This cover 9may, if desired, as shown Fig.1,

era e in ma in mayonnaise or other dress ings, when it is esirable towatch the mixing of the oil with the eggs and other ingredients,

so that the oil maybe increased as desired b cover may, as shown in Fig.6, cover the'enmovement of the needle-valve 14, or-the tire up erportion of the bowl, as is prefer-- able if utter is to be churned, whenit is not necessary to use the oil-dropper, which may be removed and a'stopper insertedtojco'ver up the opening, or, if desired, the covercould be made without an opening.

' The oil-dropper consists of a cu 15 ,"h ,{r'

ing in its bottom an opening in w ich is inserted a circular plate 16and securely held in place by a leather washer 17 or other suitablepacking. A circumferential tube or pipe 18 extends downward from thisopening in the cups bottom, and it is adapted to be inserted in an oening in ,the cover 9, which opening may e provided with a flange 19,projecting downward from its inner edge, as shown in Fig. 2, so as tomore firmly hold the cup in an upright position.

The plate 16 is provided with a threaded hole 23, through which the oilis dropped into the bowl 7. In order to regulate the amount of oilpassing through this hole, I provide a needle-valve 14, which has ashank portion 20, carrying a head 21 and threaded at its lower portion,as at 22, but having a portion of the thread cut away, as at 35 35, andclearly shown in Figs. ,3 and 4, so that as the needle is unscrewed andthe needle-point raised within the plate 16 the amount of oil flowingthrough the hole 23 is greatly increased and when sufiicient oil hasbeen applied the valve can be closed, as shown m' IIO Fig. 4, even whilethe revolving dasher is in use.

- The dasher is provided with a central vertical shaft 24, extendingdownward through an opening in the cover and supported by a hub 25,attached to or made integral with the cover on its under side and havingone or tached.

The vertical shaft 24' is arranged centrally of the bowl and carries atits lower end near the bottom of the bowl the revolving dasherconsisting of cross-arms 3 1', preferably flat and havingupward-extendl' ends or stirrerblades 32, preferably at rig t angles toit, slanted or curved inward and operating in spaced paths of movementin the outer portron of the bowl, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5. Thesecross-arms 31 may also be provided with upward-extending studs orivotpins 33, upon which are the revolvin lades 34, rotating on theirivot-pins and about the common center or more thoroughly mixing theingredients to ether.

It is to be understood t at my invention is not limited to the specificdetails of construction' shown in the accompanying drawin s, but thatsaid details may be varied-in t e practical carryin out of myinvention.It is also to be un erstood that the combinations specifically set forthin the several claims are intended to be separately claimed withoutlimitation to the use in connection therewith of other features ofconstruction illustrated.

0 Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In amayonnaise-mixer, a bowl, a cover, means for fastening the cover to thebowl, an oil-drop er adapted to be partly inserted intothe owl throu hanopemng in the cover, a needle-valve in the dropper, stirrer-bladeshaving vertical ends rotating in the outer portion of the bowl about acommon center,

,and revolving blades carried by the stirrerblades for moving thematerial in all directions.

2'. A mayonnaise-mixer having a recep tacle for mixing the material incombination with a plate, means for securing the plate to thereceptacle, armsv extending above .the plate, a vertical shaft extendingthrough the plate into the receptacle, means carried by the arms forturning the shaft, cross-arms carried by the shaft, inwardly-inclinedstirrer blades carried by the cross-arms rotating ALBERT JOHN SEAMAN.
